Steptoe & Johnson LLP has added Jason Wright to its New York office as a partner in the international trade and regulatory compliance practice. This announcement was made by the firm on Tuesday.
Wright brings to the firm a wealth of experience in several critical areas, including economic sanctions, national security law, direct foreign investment, cross-border transactions, and regulatory compliance. His skills extend to litigation in white-collar defense, whistleblower actions, international human rights, and both U.S. and transnational commercial matters.
Before joining Steptoe, Jason Wright was a partner at the law firm Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle. His move to Steptoe is poised to enhance the firm’s ability to navigate the increasingly complex terrain of international trade regulations and compliance.
